Hi I have an issue that maybe you can help me. I have a macro where in the initial lines I launch an excel file, then I copy some data, open some folders and set variables. After that I want to call again the same excel file I had open but the macro insist in open again the same file although it is already open (In this point I never give the command to close the excel file). I have the command "active or launch", I have changed to "activate" but doesnt work either. Any suggestions? I have excel 2010. Actually Im updating an existing macro made to work with excel 2013 and I'm adding lines in order the macro works in excel 2013 and 2010. so if you have any suggestions or advice to do this please let me know. Thanks!
